Seattle Strength & Performance - Queen Anne — Attraction in Seattle

Seattle Strength & Performance has truly been a game changer for me. It all started with my intake session with Zaira, who was incredibly patient and kind. From the moment we sat down, she really listened, like, really listened, to what I was hoping to get out of this, even when I couldn’t quite articulate it myself. Every time I expressed a doubt, she gently reassured me: yes, you can do this. She took the time to walk me through SSP’s mission and philosophy (that strength training is truly for everybody) and it wasn’t just words. I felt it.

I signed up for their three week unlimited trial, and while I can’t say I was instantly hooked (I’m new to all of this and honestly can be pretty shy), I kept showing up. It took a lot of self-pep talks to even get out of the car some days, but after every single session, I left feeling more energized, supported, and maybe (just maybe) ready for the next one.

By the third week, I started to realize how special this place is. And I have to give a huge, sincere shoutout to Alex and Jaiden. These two are absolutely phenomenal. Their energy, encouragement, and knowledge make every session better. Whether they’re giving form cues, helping me stay consistent, or just offering a friendly smile or quick “you’ve got this,” they’ve made a huge difference in my confidence and comfort. They somehow manage to make you feel like the most important person in the room, even when they’re helping a dozen others at the same time.

Not only have the staff been fantastic, but the other members too. There’s a genuine sense of community here like people cheer each other on, check in, and celebrate the small wins. I knew I wanted to be part of that.

What I appreciate most is that I’ve never felt pushed beyond my limits. I always feel heard, respected, and supported. I love the group format, everyone is on their own personalized plan, but the energy is collective, and the coaches are right there with you.

SSP isn’t just a gym, it’s a place where I’m learning to feel strong, capable, and connected. And I’m so grateful I found it. I can’t wait see where the next...

Wow! I can't say enough good things about this incredible gym in Upper Queen Anne. From the moment I walked in, I knew I had found something special. The welcoming atmosphere and inclusive culture make everyone feel like they belong, regardless of fitness level or background.

The coaches here are truly exceptional. Coach Chris, Taylor, and Camaira are not just knowledgeable and skilled, but they genuinely care about each member's progress and well-being. They take the time to understand individual goals and provide personalized guidance, pushing you to achieve more than you thought possible while ensuring proper form and safety.

What sets this gym apart is its positive impact on both personal health and the community. Since joining, I've seen remarkable improvements in my strength, endurance, and overall well-being. The supportive environment has helped me stay consistent with my fitness journey, and I've never felt better.

But it's not just about individual gains - this gym has become a hub for community building. The friendships formed here extend beyond workout sessions, creating a network of support and encouragement that uplifts the entire Upper Queen Anne neighborhood.

The facilities are top-notch, always clean and well-maintained, with a great variety of equipment to suit different workout styles. Whether you're into strength training, cardio, or group classes, there's something for everyone.

If you're looking for a gym that offers more than just a place to work out, look no further. This Upper Queen Anne gem has transformed my life and the lives of many others in our community. Five stars don't do it justice - this place...

I've been working out at Seattle Strength & Performance (SSP) for about 5 months. Calling it just a gym doesn't do it justice. SSP bucks the norms with their small group/semi-private training formats, personalized programming and focus on progressive overload AND functional training ensures strength training is tailored to your specific needs, helping you feel capable and get stronger.

The coaching is top-notch - special shout out to Nat, Sam, and Alex. They're incredibly knowledgeable, with a deep repertoire of exercises and adjustments to match different goals. They're also observant (no injuries on their watch) and energetic (no BS either), leaving you feeling invigorated after each session. Chris, the founder, has put together a talented team across all three locations. Sometimes the coaches rotate into the QA location - so I know they're great too.

The small group and class formats foster that sense of community which I was skeptical of at first. But I guess when you sweat together, and you've survived the tough workouts together - that means something! I totally get not everyone wants /needs to chat, including me some days. It just nice to acknowledge some familiar faces and see that we're all there to get our good sweat on.

I also love that SSP caters to all fitness levels including youth athletes. Even my kid (of their own free will) decided to join to improve performance in sports.

TL;DR: If you're serious about getting healthier and stronger - then join. You...
